Meervogel windmill at sunrise

The sun rises over windmill "Meervogel" in Hoeksmeer, Groningen, The Netherlands.

When I went to bed last night, it was very late and I did not make any plans to get out early for photography. For some reason, I woke up early and after peeking outside through the curtains I decided to get up. Not at all prepared and with less than an hour before sunrise, I decided to revisit Hoeksmeer, which is only a ten minute drive away from home. It was a cold but beautiful morning. In the quest for new compositions I nearly ended in the water but in the end I managed to keep my feet and the rest of my body dry. Then it was time to get home again for an otherwise uneventful and lazy Saturday.
